The New Hotness

In honor of the heatwave that's currently dominating July, we thought we'd do a special heat and fire-themed episode. First, we kick things with a discussion on the best and worst video game fire levels of all time. Then, we talk about gaming's role in heating up the planet. And finally, we end things with some HOT Takes on hot stuff in video games.
